"Aldactone didn't work for me. I didn't know I had congestive heart failure (CHF) until one day I couldn't walk 20 feet without being out of breath. I went to the doctor, and my blood pressure was sitting at 170/117. I was given Aldactone to take, along with other medications, which lowered my blood pressure to 90/63. Unfortunately, it caused me to faint every time I tried to stand up, and my doctor stopped the medication."

"Didn't work for me. Muscle aches, itch, and most importantly, it dropped my blood pressure too low along with the other medication I am taking. Pressure was 87/54, normally I am 130/70. I was exhausted, tired, weak, and constantly falling asleep. This medication was not for me. Called the doctor, he told me to stop taking it, and this was at 1/2 pill dosage."
